Debra Gray said Tuesday she filed a police report against her ex-husband in December because "I thought he might send someone to scare me and in scaring me, I'd get roughed up."
Since November 1996, Williams' legislative wages have been garnisheed $111 every two weeks to pay partially for the back debt, according to Family Court records.
Williams, D-Las Vegas, declined to comment. His attorney, David Phillips, said Williams "has done everything on the up and up and we will be litigating this." Phillips added Williams made all his child support payments.
But Gray, in a motion filed Feb. 19 to modify child support, said the lawmaker owed her $23,000.
Gray and Williams were married from 1977 until 1984 and had two children. After their divorce, Williams was ordered to pay $110 each month for each of the two children, according to a motion filed by Gray's attorney, Gloria Navarro.
The motion said Williams made payments of $220 for four months and then stopped. Gray, remarried at that point, said she didn't go to court because "we had a lot of money and it was too much aggravation to hound him for $200."
That marriage of seven years and alimony she got for nearly three years afterward kept her from needing the money until 1995, Gray said in explaining why she waited to take legal action against Williams.
